Mikel Arteta has confessed it is "not realistic" for Arsenal to sign a new striker in January to address their goalscoring woes. The Gunners slumped to their third consecutive defeat in all competitions on Sunday with a 2-0 loss to Liverpool that dumped them out of the FA Cup and extended their poor run of form to just one win in their last seven games. Key to Arsenal's struggles has been a dip in potency in front of goal, with the likes of Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli failing to match last season's electric form and new signing Kai Havertz…

Frank Leboeuf Blasts “Stubborn” Mikel Arteta For Sticking With David Raya

Ramsdale started the new campaign between the sticks and avoided any serious blunders – only to see himself dropped for Arsenal’s win at Everton last month.
